what exactly would this limit?
The total size of tables created by that user regardless of what role
inserted data into said tables? There's really no way to track the
data written by a user into tables that multiple users have
insert/update privs to. and does it include older tuple versions
that aren't yet vacuumed?
calculating pg_total_relation_size is fairly expensive, too, it requires
scanning the table and ancilliary items (indexes, toast storage) to sum
up the number of blocks allocated.
